Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
Remove and drain the cooked beetroot from the packaging. Slice the beetroot in circles.
In an oven-proof frying pan, place the sugar and balsamic and allow to melt for 30 seconds before adding the baby beetroot. Allow the beetroot to cook in the syrup for 5 mins. Add 100g (half the jar) of the plum & onion marmalade to the beetroot. Stir until well combined and let it simmer for 3 minutes.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Season to taste then top with a circle of puff pastry and tuck in the edges.
Place the tart in the oven and allow to bake for 10-15 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through. Poke a few holes to allow some of the steam to escape.
Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 30 seconds before very carefully as to not burn yourself turning the pastry upside down onto a plate.
Add dollops of the goat's cheese and garnish with thyme.
Serve at room temperature. Happy Eating!
Notes
Optional: Serve the beetroot tarte tatin with a salsa verde made with beetroot tops, garlic, vinegar, capers, mustard, and olive oil. This will add some freshness and contrast to the rich and earthy tart.Wine Pairing: Land's End Syrah 2018
